Athena is a good option (http://www.athenausa.com).
But as you mentioned, the ideal is some environments is to have no local
OS at all on the Thin Client device, remote booting it off a PXE/TFTP
server.
I have one model that has no local OS and comes with an USB key tied to
the box. If someone steals the box it has nothing on it at all. If
someone steals the USB key it is useless as it works on that particular
Thin Client only. Even if your buddy tries your USB key on his terminal
it does not work (unless you want to make that work).
Perfect for military installations I would say.

Subject: [THIN] Recomendations for really Thin Clients? (i.e. - bootp)
Anyone using thin clients with bootp that you really
like?
We're on a .mil network and have to maintain regular
mandated updates, so we're debating whether to use TCs
with no local OS to be maintained, and everything that
I'm familiar with (i.e., used to sale) are either
embedded CE, XP, linux, etc. I recall a client using
Tek terminals years ago (bought out by NCD), but I
don't know if anything similar stille exists.
thanks
